New Channel Driver: chan_console

I just merged a new channel driver into Asterisk trunk which will be in Asterisk 1.6.  The module is called chan_console.  It is a new console channel driver which uses portaudio as a cross platform audio interface instead of using something like ALSA or OSS directly.  I wrote it to give myself a console channel driver that I could use on my Mac.  However, portaudio supports a number of other audio interfaces, as well.

The audio interfaces that portaudio supports are

• Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)
• AudioScience HPI
• Macintosh Core Audio for OS X
• Windows Direct Sound
• JACK Audio Connection Kit
• Unix Open Sound System (OSS)
• Windows Vista WASAPI
• Windows WDM Kernel Streaming
• Windows MME
